MidSummer

Did someone say Mid Summer? Yikes! Things are blooming and dying at an alarming rate. And some things are being sat with. They'll bloom eventually. They are in bud.
I spoke at a meeting on Friday. Here in Pittsburgh we call that *leading*. I understand that in other places it is called *qualifying*. Ya tell *what it was like, what happened, and what it is like now*. So I did. I haven't done that in maybe 9 years. That would be due to having that little spat with my sponsor wherein she told me I just needed to *get a man* and all. Yeah, well, that lead to a huge resentment not only towards her but towards the rest of the peopel in the program. It took me a few years (like 8) to figure out that it's not everyone. And, well, ya kinda havta be at meetings to get asked to speak. And I wasn't so I didn't.
I was not nervous. Not a bit. It's sorta like speaking in trance though cause the deal is that one is supposed to turn it over to one's Higher Power and let them use you as a mouthpiece. Some form of aspecting for certain. I never remember what I said.
A dear friend made me a Goddess pendant to wear and she put it on just before I spoke. It is lovely. An amythyst Goddess with 12 sets of 8 beads. Because...I was born in December and my life card/number is 8. Awesome.
By the time I got to the meeting she had already had a run in with my sponsor over taping my talk for the A.A. archives. He said he was sorry she was my friend. I said I was not. I like her. And so it goes. *Principles before personalities*.
